The first major domino in NBA free agency has fallen as Fred VanVleet has declined the player option on his contract worth $22.8 million and is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. The Toronto Raptors management led by Masai Ujiri has a lot of work to do to ensure the point guard is not the latest of the 2019 championship roster to leave the team for nothing as a free agent. But VanVleet has made his stance clear with the decision that he is looking for his pay check so what are Toronto’s options?
After Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported the news, Raptors fans online went into a frenzy about what is going to happen to the former All-Star and NBA champion. In this video Jacob Gramegna discusses all of the possibilities moving forward for the Raptors to consider and reveals what this development really means for the team going forward.

Hope we sign and trade Fred
they got Fred for nothing let him walk for nothing
Raptors Have Too Do A Sign And Trade
Green and gasol were washed. I think we still would have won will jonas. We would be a much better team with him still around
Sign and trade most likely.
Where do you want Fred VanVleet to end up for next season?
Man I've had this weird feeling we are gonna do a S&T with Brooklyn and take back Simmons + FRP
Good riddance i hope maybe sign and trade. Not a fred fan sorry
FVV is so good with pick and rolls and yet he could only really do with Yak. Kinda tells you how really good FVV is with pick-and-roll offence. (he is not that good)
Jacob you still trying to. Sell the fanbase o n a selfish b ball player. Does not fit darko
WE NEED SIMONS AND THE THIRD PICK
Who cares if he leaves?
This is not a problem at all. Fred is not the right guy for the Raptors as a leader. He needs to go with his toxic ass.
Let him go. Did you see his Philly tweet? Selfish.
This is not a problem this is Glorious. Bye Bye Fred.
We need to grow and move on from Fred, he deserves this as well 😢
Please dont pay fred
There’s always that undrafted player we will find
We get rid of our selfish shot chucker with one of the worst shooting percentages in the league and give him to one of our division rivals. I see this as an absolute win
